Fade Into Me

Ari Janelle had everything most girls dreamed of - the voice, the beauty, the fame bubbling right beneath the surface. But behind the spotlight, she was falling apart. Drowning in pills, liquor, and loneliness, her nights blurred into one another - until one nearly ended her life.

One moment she was slumped over in a hotel bar. The next, she was in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there - only that someone had saved her. Her mother's, who's also her manager, ultimatum came next: To attend rehab or she'd be dropped from the label. Feeling too sick to even argue, she agrees.

Three months later, Ari was sober, clear-headed, and ready to start again. Music was her therapy now - and she was determined to reclaim her voice. So when her manager lined up her first studio session, she didn't hesitate. What she didn't know was that the man behind the board, was the same one who'd saved her life.

Kairo Steele wasn't your average producer. With credits on albums from Beyoncé to Future, his reputation spoke for itself - the man was disciplined, focused, and untouchable. He'd built his empire from nothing, and he wasn't about to let anyone distract him.

One night, after celebrating an album release with his close friend and colleague, Future, Kairo finds an unconscious Ari near the bar floor. Being that the bar was closed, no one was around, and that alarmed Kairo as he sprung into action immediately. He brings her to the hospital before contemplating if he should leave or not. Finally, he decides to go, deciding that he really didn't know her well enough to stay.

Months later, his team lets him know a new singer would be stopping by his studio later on to possibly collab with him on a new album. But what he didn't expect, was for Ari Janelle to walk through the door.

Time passes and somewhere between the beats, the lyrics, and late nights, Ari and Kairo will have to decide if what's happening between them is destiny - or just another beautiful disaster.
